Anyone have a Fox Triple Crown or Royal Crown longbow that they could post pics of for me to see? It would be greatly appreciated.
Bill Lamb
I believe Fox archery will be at Twin Oaks this weekend in TN. He has several with him for sale (shot one at KY Klassic).Sorry no pic but if you can make it to Twin Oaks you should be able to shoot one! I'm planning to place an order for one myself.Gotta sell some stuff first!
No pics here either. I did shoot them at Kalamazoo, and really liked them. Ron said he was working on a 3 piece takedown version - if you see him this weekend ask him how that project is coming along. I'd like to get on that list!
The 3 piece is the one I shot! Loved it!!Coco and osage riser.
RKing,
You tossed me for a loop until I checked your profile. The Fox bows are signed by R. King, in this case Ron King instead of Robert King. ;) :)

Bill, will these work.....stabow
stabow,
Thanks! That is a gorgeous bow! It wasn't until after I posted the other pics that were emailed to me and I went back to look at yours again that I realized that shelf is on the wrong side of the riser on your bow! ;) :goldtooth:
Bill
Below are some additional pics of Fox Triple Crown longbows that have been emailed to me:

Truthfully, I would be proud to own and shoot any of these bows. The quality of the woods and the fit and finish are top shelf.
Bill
I have owned quit a few custom bows, but I have to admit Fox archery is hard to beat.....stabow
Bill,
I thought you were a "Onebowman"! What gives? LOL
Craig
Craig,
Haven't you noticed I'm back to WildmanSC? ;) :D
Bill
That's not an option for a onebowman :bigsmyl:
Wildmansc ,I noticed that(R King) when I first picked the bow up and mentioned it to Ron at the time that I could have some fun with the friends that aren't into archery.Then forgot when I posted that it could be cornfusin! Sorry
I hope to shoot it again friday when not so tired and maybe let it follow me home!As I try to remember about 3 piece I now can't trust my memory as to which bow I shot was what. I will take pics this time to preserve my sanity and drool over if I have to Order.
I sent an email today, and Ron had already left, but Debbie responded and said that the 3 piece isn't ready yet. She said he is also working on a two piece, and that it might be available sooner than the three. I would really like to wait for a takedown version.
Fox Royal Crown Longbow, Zebrawood/Shedua riser, Bamboo limbs, 62", 50#@28". It has a new home! Thanks Bear! I'm glad you went to Twin Oaks and became my eyes.
Bill
Does this mean the DAS is for sale???
Bob,
How did you guess? I didn't realize just how much I had invested in it until I started adding everything up. I have enough in the Border HexV-H limbs alone to pay for the Fox Royal Crown longbow!
Bill
WildmanSC You are gonna love it ,I shot several again Friday and everybody that shot one was impressed with it. My bad on the 3 piece ,he has a 3 piece recurve that I really liked as well as the royal crown and I shot so many I was totally cornfusd.Don't know why, because I was looking at takedowns only,the Royal Crown was impressive enough to divert my attention I guess. Sorry for the mis information.
Robert King
What is the difference in the Royal Crown and the Triple Crown? Is the Triple a 3 piece? So, do you guys feel he makes the best one piece reflex/deflex that you have shot? They sure look beautiful. I love the lines.
Snag the Tripple crown is a 1 piece.It comes in longer lengths I believe than the royal crown.a great choice for the 3-D shooter and would make a fine hunting bow as well.I believe the grip style and riser are similar.I have not seen the royal crown so i cant comment on the specific differences like limb length and riser length and limb design.Someone will chime in on those particulars hopefully.The Tripple Crown does have a fairly long riser and good mass as well.Somewhat narrow limbs and tapered with small tips.A descent amount of reflex that gives it good cast.The shelf is cut to about center.Shelf is highly crowned and grip is sculpted nicely for an ergonomic feel.With thumb groove and slight palm swell.I would say the grip is medium low.Its a well thought out design and legal for the longbow division in IBO shoots and IFAA I belive.I am sure it will find its niche among guys who prefer this style of bow.
Ron really needs to do a better job of keeping his web site up to date with new offerings, show dates, and just over all better pics that do justice to his quality work. His listed show dates were 2 years old not that long ago. You wouldn't even know he offers the Triple/Royal Crown unless you stumble onto threads like this.
In todays world, being able to just pop onto a web site and see some high quality representative photos of a bowyers work is a big plus.
But I guess if you already have all the business you can handle??

Bills new bow is spending the night at my house before she's off to S.C. :D
I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
It was a great shoot...
I'm whooped...
night-night ;)
The Royal Crown is in the Archery Shop. I just talked to Budro. I've always told him that when a bow comes in, if you have time, open it up, string it and shoot it.
To quote Budro, he said "It is the best shooting longbow I've ever shot, period. If you ever want to sell it, I'll buy it."
Mind you I've owned some very nice and top end longbows over the past 7 years. Budro has shot every one of them. So, he's comparing the Royal Crown to quite a list of top name longbows.
Bill
I hope that the short "62" works for your hand problems. See you tomorrow afternoon?
Bob,
If it doesn't, maybe the 64" Border Harrier I have on order will. I couldn't get anyone to bite on the HexV-H limbs I had on order, so I contacted Sid at Border and changed the order to a Harrier GL longbow.
Bill
I had no idea he even made such a bow. I do love the lines, what a looker. That Royal Crown would be a sweet bow with a bow bolt, wouldn't it Whip?
I was very impressed with his 3pc recurve that I shot when he was at the TN championship a few years ago. Very well built bows and the ones I shot were very smooth and stable.
I'm chomping at the bit until Ron has a takedown version of this bow! I swore off of buying new bows for a while, but this one is going to be an exception to my policy. :rolleyes:
I have always liked the High Siera he makes, but this LB is real sharp. I'll have to keep an eye open for when Bill lists it. lol
The pics below were taken of my Fox Royal Crown longbow by Alex Sunday night when he got home from the Twin Oaks shoot. I'll be taking more and posting them, probably on Monday.

Bill, much better pictures nice looking bow I know you will enjoy it.....stabow
stabow,
There's no doubt about that. I did something with it today I've never done before. I got a robin hood with a wood arrow. They did remain stuck together, but the nock on the arrow in the target was broken and the back 6" of the arrow was split down the center. Mind you it was at 10 yards, but it was still a tight grouping bow.
Bill
OK Bill, I can tell right now that bow is going to get way to expensive to shoot if you keep wrecking arrows like that. Better just put it up for sale right now and save yourself some money. Let me know how much you want. ;)
Hey onebowguy.... I mean Bill LOL. Nice stick ya got there.BTW Whip it was great meeting ya today and I gotta see them pics LOL<><
Whip,
It's really kind of you to look out for me like that. But if they bow continues shooting that well, I guess I'll just have to bare the added expense of additional wood arrows! ;) :D
Frank,
You haven't noticed I've changed my name back to WildmanSC. Reality is a hard lesson learned sometimes! :banghead:
Bill
DMoose,
I agree with you about the Royal Crown and about Ron.
I also agree with your signature. If our nation ever needed the blessing of God, it is now!
Bill
